Find a Therapist in Mart, Texas.

In my psychotherapy approach, I assess possible past issues a client may need to re-visit. Some people have long-standing unresolved issues from their past, which need to be addressed in psychotherapy. Although an individual's past may certainly need to be examined, my main focus in psychotherapy is to improve the person's current situation and move toward a more positive future. Clients can potentially benefit from gaining better control of their lives by improving coping skills, having more positive relationships, and gaining confidence in their ability to be stronger emotionally, physically, and spiritually, I provide a safe and supportive environment in which to examine their lives.

I work with clients to uncover unproductive thought patterns and behavioral choices. Through talk therapy, we investigate the thoughts and beliefs that hold you back and keep you repeating the same cycle with the same results. I approach therapy from a no-judgment, compassionate vantage and work with you to alleviate the fear, stress and anxiety that keeps you "stuck".

I work with an entire person--the mind, emotions, body, spirit, relationships. I offer an alternative approach to traditional psychotherapy because sometimes we are stuck beyond our thoughts. I believe we are often stuck beyond how we think about something, but by how our body holds and remembers the experiences. After all, we feel the anxiety in our chest, shoulders or stomach. When we are depressed, we struggle to move, sleep, concentrate etc. I work to remove the block from wherever it is stuck. My clients come to me after years of ineffective therapy. They are looking for more than talking about their struggles or identifying how they think about them in favor of a change in living.

One way to think about psychotherapy is as a process of becoming more conscious of how our thoughts and feelings get in the way of living a full and meaningful life. My approach to this work is shapely largely by an approach known as "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)," along with an interesting personality inventory called the "Enneagram." My goal is to help people foster greater consciousness and then make fresh decisions regarding how they want to live their lives.

Psychotherapy is a word used to distinguish from other therapies such as Occupational or Physical therapy. Psychotherapy is counseling to help the psyche. I provide both traditional talk psychotherapy as well as creative interventions in therapy. You often hear psychotherapists referred to as a Shrink. I like to think of myself as an "Un Shrink". I like to help you turn your internal thought processes around so that you can live more fully and authentically rather than shrunken. Feeling shrunk hurts and leads to feeling the need for therapy. Feeling full, complete and good enough (i.e. un-shrunk) leads to healthy living.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
